A very fine era for Stanford
historical homes
House and garden tour features Lower San Juan neighborhood
by Carol Blitzer / photos by Sunny Scott

F

our homes in Stanford University’s Lower San Juan
neighborhood will be open
for the eighth annual Stanford
Historic House & Garden Tour
on April 22, but true history buffs
might want to pick up the book
that includes another 22 homes.
The eclectic tour is based on the
Stanford Historical Society’s latest volume, “Historic Houses VI:
Lower San Juan Neighborhood,
Continued.”
The tour offers a taste of the
riches in the book, including who
designed and built the homes, and
the generations of Stanford professors who have lived there.
(continued on next page)

Top: This 1926 Spanish eclectic
home in the Lower San Juan
neighborhood on Stanford
campus will be featured on
the Stanford Historical House
& Garden Tour on April 22.
Details of the Charles Sumnerdesigned home include wroughtiron lanterns, above, and gentle
arches, vaulted ceiling and
wrought-iron curtain rods, left.

arched windows in the living room; and a charming oval high
window.
Although the Shragers found the house ready to move in,
they have made a few changes. The original fireplace was
replaced with a gas-burning version, which is used extensively
to heat the living room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in this room now,â&#x20AC;? Shrager
said.
Several panels of their wooden front door have been replaced
with glass, bringing light to an otherwise dark space. And,
every house the family has lived in has had a tree swing. The
children, ranging from 7 to 14 at the time, insisted.
And they have other plans of their own for the future. They
plan to move the Spanish citrus orchard from the shady rear of
the property to the sunny front, and sometime they will replace
the original wrought-iron railing on the front porch, adding
Spanish tiles at that time.
On tour day, much of the art displayed will be by Flo de
Bretagne, a Palo Alto artist who is working with Dottie Shrager on a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. The paintings are whimsical, colorful
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not at all in the 1926 mode, but Shrager says the white
walls are a perfect backdrop to display them.
Other homes on tour, which supports the Stanford Historic
Houses Project, include:

Historic house & garden tour
(continued from previous page)

Dottie and Joe Shrager (a Stanford Medical School professor
and chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery) were attracted
to their Spanish eclectic home, designed by Charles K. Sumner
in 1926, partly because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just come from the East Coast.
There they owned an 18th-century Federal farmhouse sitting
on 4.5 acres.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted modern, airy, but Joe had his heart set on a
traditional home,â&#x20AC;? Dottie Shrager said. They liked the idea
of living on campus, but they wanted a house that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need
fixing up.
So a key reason they chose the historic home on campus was
the extensive renovations done by the last owner, Kathleen Sullivan. She lived there from 1993 when she joined the Stanford
Law School faculty until she moved east in 2008, after serving
as the first woman dean of the law school.
Shrager credits Sullivan with creating the sight line from the
dining room, through the kitchen, laundry room and family
room, ending with French doors leading outside.
Sullivan restored the home from the inside out, beginning
with the infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, heating) and
continuing to the kitchen and bathrooms. Working with contractor Michael Doherty of Santa Cruz and interior designer
Greg Anton of San Jose, she added barrel vaulting and niches,
reshaping an archway but retaining original doors, windows
and cabinets.
Outside, Sullivan brought in Tim Vine of Landsystems
Landscapes, Redwood City, retaining redwoods and cedar in

front, persimmon and live oak in back and eucalyptus on the
side. Many rooms step directly outside, onto brick patios, with
winding paths leading around the garden, including a rhododendron and azalea garden near the kitchen.
Shrager pointed to some of the charming touches: a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julietbalconyâ&#x20AC;? window overlooking the living room that allows air
flow from a nearby window; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hobbitâ&#x20AC;? door â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a challenge

lien, you should understand that there

auction does not automatically entitle
you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may
be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority,
and size of outstanding liens that may
exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder ‘s office or a
title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be

interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the
authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on April 23, 2012 at 9:00 a.m.
in Dept.: 3 of the Superior Court of
California, County of Santa Clara,
located at 191 N. First St., San Jose,

creditor of the decedent, you must
file your claim with the court and mail
a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate
Code section 9100. The time for
filing claims will not expire before four

You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF:
XIN ZHOU
Case No.: 112-PR 169625
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors,
contingent creditors and persons who
may otherwise be interested in the will
or estate, or both, of XIN ZHOU.
A Petition for Probate has been filed
by: QI GENG in the Superior Court of
California, County of SANTA CLARA.
The Petition for Probate requests
that: QI GENG be appointed as personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to
administer the estate under the
Independent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take
many actions without obtaining court
approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal representative will be required
to give notice to interested persons
unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration
authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the
authority.
